Macro Pyramid
Description |
---|
This macro creates a parametric pyramid. The radiuses and the height will be set at creation time similar to Part Cone.
All parameters can be adjusted. It is possible to create pyramids with a perfect tip. |

Description
This macro creates a parametric pyramid.
- Both radiuses and the height will be set at creation time, similar to Part Cone.
- All parameters can be adjusted.
- It is possible to create pyramids with a perfect tip.
Note:
If you're also interested in polyhedrons, then you can also make use of the the external workbench Pyramids_and_Polyhedrons (github link) that contains the same function.

Example creation with the external workbench Pyramids_and_Polyhedrons (github link) that contains the same function.
How to use
- Install: See info at Pyramids_and_Polyhedrons (github README)
- Once installed, open Menu → Macro → Macros. Click on pyramid.py and then click on button execute.
- A knotted pyramid will appear, similar to Part Cone
- Change the parameters just like with Part Cone.
Script
